Re: Dell 720/Lexmark z600 Printer Installation Problem

Is there a file at /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz ?

If so try going to the Cups web interface if you have it installed, its at http://localhost:631. Find the printer in the list of printers, in the admin drop down choose modify printer. The third page of the modify options is the driver, at the bottom is "Or Provide a PPD File" click on the choose file button and point it to the above file.

I did find that file there. I can't get into http://localhost:631....it keeps getting rejected. I have Allow all where it belongs in the cups.conf file...However, I have the cups-applet installed and it allows to select a .ppd file. This still has the same effect...The job appears for processing for a second or two in the jobs-manager, then fails.
